I have the same issue.... the "UPDATES" updated my "box" purchase of LR5 to LR6 and the CC Apps Page says that LR CC was installed. It also says my LR 5 is "up to date. But... LR CC (2015) is nowhere to be found in my Adobe Folder ...It's not on my desk top either.

The LR 6 version was installed onto my desktop and that is new, as I had previously removed LR 5 (box version) from my desk top. ...........

So the questions are - where is my LR CC version.... Should I "uninstall it??" or worse yet, did ADOBE make a default decision to update the box Version 5 to Version 6 instead of installing the CC (2015) version????

The confusion stems from the name...... In the "Upgrade" page off the Creative Cloud Desktop Ap ..... There is a reference for "Lightroom CC (2015)" And when you click on this ap, (which is also installed on the desktop) it opens up Lightroom 6.

Adobe made the decision to "RENAME" Lightroom CC (2015) to Lightroom 6. The confusing part for me, was that I owned the box version of Lightroom 5 and was concerned that it was updated to LR6. But that is not the case.... Box Ver 5 will not upgrade to LR 6.

Joshua....... I went to the link you provided and the only option I see is to "BUY" Lightroom 6 at $149. I did not see an "Upgrade" option.

I bought the box Version 5 just a month before the CC Photographers Bundle was released. .... so I have it sitting on my shelf and "in my hard drive" .. But I have since determined (at least for my purposes as a daily user of both LR and PS) that the $120 I spend a year for LR, PS and Bridge is a far better value than a BOX version purchase plan....especially when at some point you have to break down and buy the full new release. ....

After clicking buy you have to change "full" to "upgrade" to get the upgrade pricing.

But if you feel CC is the better value for you then go for it. That's what I did long ago. I was just reacting to your statement that the stand alone upgrade wouldn't be available until the summer which is not true.

For some reason a lot of people are not paying attention to what they do when they click on the Buy button. You can choose from full or upgrade, and after you choose upgrade and indicate what version you are upgrading from, the $79 price will display right next to the yellow button. It's all there. All that's necessary is to follow the steps to get the purchase made.

I think it's because the "Adobe is making the perpetual license hard to find" mythos is really settling in. And there's some merit to it. Like using "update" instead of "upgrade" in the notice inside LR 5 and sending folks to the CC option even from the stand alone version.
